How we use these
We quote figures as published and say which year and geography they cover. Where two sources give different estimates we use the more conservative one and say so. We do not use the Yes campaign's projections as our own claims; we quote them only to respond. This site is paid for by United for Fresno and is not affiliated with any other campaign.
